Introduction

Sangria lets your AI agents buy anything — coffee, data, API access, digital goods, services — and pay for it automatically. No crypto wallets, no signing, no per-merchant integrations. Your agent describes what it wants, you approve a price, and Sangria places the order and settles up from a pre-funded USD balance.

How it works

Buying through Sangria is two steps:

1. Discover — your agent describes what it wants. Sangria searches what's available and returns a short-lived, price-locked quote with up to 3 candidate matches, each with an all-in price.
2. Buy — your agent commits one match. Sangria charges your balance, places the order with the merchant, and hands back the merchant's response.

Your agent never talks to a merchant or signs a payment. Sangria hides all the payment plumbing behind a small HTTP API and pays merchants on your behalf from your credit balance.

Credits and amounts

You pre-fund a USD credit balance. Discovery is free; a completed buy debits credits, and a merchant decline costs nothing — there's no overdraft.

All amounts are integer microunits: $1 = 1,000,000 microunits (so 6250000 = $6.25). Everything is USD; there is no currency field.

Using Sangria

The easiest way to give an agent these abilities is the Claude Code skill plus the Sangria CLI.
